Board of Commissioners Washington County, Minnesota Court House 14900 North 61st Street Stillwater, MN 55082 Re: Helmo Avenue North Request for County Participation in construction costs Gentlemen: The City Council of the City of Lake Elmo, by this letter, is requesting that Washington County participate in the costs of construction of Helmo Avenue North. Helmo Avenue North has been laid out and constructed in Section 32 in the City of Lake Elmo. The attached map and specification sheet indicate the general location and character of the road. As you can see, the purpose of this road (in addition to its use as an integral part of the I-94 system) is to open up for development that part of Section 32 which is in the so-called "I-94 Corridor." This land has sewer capacity as a result of sewer facilities installed under the old W.O.N.E. Sewer District. The Lake Elmo City Council foresees commercial/industrial district develop- ment taking place along this road which should add substantially to the tax base of the various taxing districts - including the City and County. In addition, the road is coordinated to Oakdale's street plan which calls for an extension of a street of this character North from Section 32 in the City of Lake Elmo across Tenth Avenue (old Minnehaha) into the City of Oakdale and continuing North. It is anticipated that the extension of this road will open up land for similar commercial/industrial development or other high density uses to the north of Lake Elmo in Oakdale. Because of the substantial benefit to all of the taxing districts, the City Council of Lake Elmo hopes, and is hereby requesting, that the County participate in the cost of Helmo Avenue.
